Hi everyone, me and my family, which consists of Me my hubby and twin daughters aged 12 have been looking into emigrating to your beautiful country. But my question is about the education system. I was wondering if your schools have whats called 'teachers assistants' as that is what I am qualified in but this is not an actual teacher, it is a teachers helper. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks xx

Hi Blossom.
Here in South Australia at least there are teaching assistants.

Some paid positions and other free ones where parents volunteer but eventually end up with a paid position.

They are hard to find from what I hear though.

Aww thanks for that Tyke, we have been looking at Adelaide and have friends who live in Bendigo, but they are older and wasn't sure. Also my hubby is currently a Branch Manager of an electrical wholesalers and we are currently looking at a companies within the same line of work, don't know if you could help with that too?? xx

Adelaide is a nice place for us - been here 8 years and it ticks all the boxes.
Do a lot of research though - Australia is a big place with many different areas and cities,sure there is something that will hit all the right buttons.

Adelaide is generally a smaller and quieter city that has some lovely suburbs.Quite a kid friendly place.Still the most affordable city in Oz I think.

It seems to have something for everyone but just sometimes takes a little finding.

There are quite a few state wide and then national electrical parts wholesalers.
I don't know much on that side I'm afraid used a couple for some of my projects.
